13 Observation settings
Illustration2: Binocular head with diopter adjustment at the eyepiece
This microscope is equipped with an binocular head. The interpupillary distance and the diopter set-
tings can be adjusted individually.
1. With the eyes look through both eyepieces.
2. Change the distance between the eyepieces by pushing them together or pulling apart until a cir-
cular image of the obeserved object is visible.
3. Turn the diopter adjustment ring to position '0'.
4. Turn the zoom button to position '5'.
5. With the left eye, look through the left eyepiece and turn the focusing wheel until a sharp image of
the observed object is visible.
6. With the right eye, look through the right eyepiece and turn the diopter adjustment ring until a
sharp image of the observed object is visible too.
The diopter adjustment can also be done in the opposite way on the left eyepiece.
14 Friction setting
If the friction setting is too smooth, the microscope head will move downwards by itself because the
weight is completely pushing on the guide rail. This creates a blurred image.
To avoid this, tighten the friction adjustment wheel slightly.
15 Using the trinocular extension
Illustration3: Trinocular extension
Depending on the adapter* attached, a SLR camera, a system camera or a C-mount camera can be
attached to the trinocular extension.
10 / 24
NOTICE!Cameras usually show a smaller field of view than eyepieces. This is in part due to the
sensor size and cannot be changed.
To attach a suitable camera adapter, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the fixing screw on the extension and remove the dust cover.
2. Insert/attach the desired camera adapter.
3. Tighten the fixing screw again.
4. Use the focus of the camera adapter to adjust the camera focus. Most camera models can thus be
adjusted parfocally to the eyepieces.
NOTICE!Information on suitable accessories can be found in the chapter "Optional accessories".
*not included in the scope of delivery / optionally available
16 Attaching optional accessories to the
objective tube
The objective tube is equipped with an M48 x 0.75 thread for mounting ancillary lenses*.
The outer notch on the lens ring is used to attach a ring illuminator*.
*not included
NOTICE!Information on suitable accessories can be found in the chapter "Optional accessories".
17 Cleaning and maintenance
• Protect the device from dust and moisture!
• Avoid fingerprints and similar contamination of the optical surfaces.
• The residual moisture must be completely degraded before use.
• Disconnect the power supply by pulling the mains plug when the appliance is not in use, in case of
a longer interruption of operation and before any maintenance and cleaning work.
• Only clean the device externally using a dry cloth. Do not use cleaning solution to prevent damage
to the electronic parts.
• Do not use organic solvents (e.g. alcohol, ether, acetone, xylol or other dilutions) to clean
lacquered parts or plastic parts!
• Disassemble optical elements (e.g. objective, eyepiece, etc) before cleaning.
• Blow away loose dust from the lens surfaces first.
• Use high quality lens cleaning towels or soft cloth and moisten it with a little bit of pure alcohol
(available in a drug store). Wipe the lens surface with it.
• Pull a dust protection cover* over the microscope and store it in a closed container at a dry and
mould-free place. Store the microscope and the accessories in the relevant containers when they
are not used for a longer time. It is recommended to store also objectives and eyepieces in closed
containers with desiccant.
(*depending on the model a dust protection cover and box can be part of the content)
NOTICE
Remember:
A well maintained microscope will keep its optical quality for years and thus maintain its value.
